Surface Finishing & Coating

Safe for use on ferrous alloys when used as directed, ULTRA-CLEAN US-159 may etch or stain aluminum and zinc alloys, therefore pretesting before use is recommended. Dilutions from 2-10% by volume in water that is 120-160° are typically effective. Heavier soils and/or ultrasonic applications may benefit from operating at higher temperatures up to 190°F. Follow cleaning step with a thorough ambient-to-warm water rinse.

Powerful mesh creation and editing capabilities deliver a new class of modeling tools.

Made with a long-lasting brass brush, the Tooth Brush is built for durability and easy to install on all machines. It is a convenient, affordable option to replace expensive and inflexible OEM brushes.

VpCI®-418 LM can be used on a variety of metals (carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, galvanized steel, brass [30% Zn], copper) and may be used at different dosages for light, medium, or heavy-duty cleaning.

Finishing is an active area of CAD/CAM software development that becomes better every year. Discover how it can benefit your operations.

The company's Tiger system has firmly established itself as the gold standard for cutting tool insert finishing, with installations in many of the world's leading cutting tool insert manufacturers. The system can be configured to process inserts for all essential pre-coating, edge honing or post-coating operations.

In the world of corrosion control, preventing rust is always the best option. Unfortunately, existing rust can be found in every industry, at almost any plant or jobsite.

MIT engineers have created a new two-dimensional polymer that self-assembles into sheets

General-purpose endmills often fit the bill at high-mix, low-volume shops.

For proper material preparation The KBC Pneumatic Hand Chamfering Tool allows you to remove burrs easily and quickly to create a uniform edge with repeatable accuracy up to almost 1mm depth, prepare metal for welding jobs and clean them up after, and a host of other needs in the machine shop or on site. The bearing runs along the edge of the surface while two carbide inserts chamfer the edge for smooth results. (Replacement standard triangular tip carbide inserts, TCMT-09T3, are available.)

Whether for downstream processes or to ensure the lasting and reliable function of a product, rising requirements for particulate and filmic-chemical component cleanliness are increasingly causing cleaning tasks to be shifted to clean environments.

Every cutting insert experiences a drop in performance when approaching the end of its life cycle. If this condition goes undetected for any amount of time, part-machining performance, as well as part quality, may have already suffered.
